EMAS

What EMAS does

EMAS (European Menopause and Andropause Society) is a non-profit international medical society founded in 1998 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with administrative operations managed by K.I.T. Group GmbH in Berlin. The society serves healthcare professionals, primarily gynecologists, general practitioners, endocrinologists, and other specialists in midlife and post-reproductive health, by producing evidence-based clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed publications, and continuing medical education. Its flagship publication, "Case Reports in Women's Health," carries a rising journal impact factor, and EMAS positions itself as a reference authority cited by professionals and regulators internationally.

The product portfolio is a content, education, and event platform rather than a software product. Core offerings include EMAS Journals, the JuMP (Junior EMAS Mentoring) Programme, EMAS School for healthcare professional training, EMAS Academy (the flagship annual conference), on-demand multilingual webinars (English, Spanish, Mandarin, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Russian), EMAS Podcasts, and the "Menopause in the Workplace" program anchored by the annual World Menopause and Work Day (launched 2021). Patient-facing education is extended via the CoMICs multilingual animation series (11 languages) co-developed with the University of Birmingham, and major congresses such as the 16th European Congress (Gothenburg, May 2025), EMAS Academy 2026 (Rotterdam), and the 20th World Congress on Menopause (Rio de Janeiro, 2026) anchor annual engagement.

EMAS operates a community-led, event-driven go-to-market. Revenue is generated from individual membership subscriptions, congress and training registration fees, and educational content distribution, with distribution through direct membership access, event registration, and a network of affiliated national medical societies globally. Strategic partnerships with the European Society of Endocrinology, the European Medicines Agency, CIPD, MenopauseCafe, EACS, Touch Endocrinology, and VuMedi extend content reach and policy influence, while the organization's 27+ years of brand authority and engagement with the European Parliament on EU menopause policy form the institutional backbone. No AI, software, or API capability is evident in the data.

Direct peers

• International Menopause Society (IMS): Global medical society focused on menopause research, education, and clinical guidelines. Directly comparable to EMAS as a peer international society serving the same HCP audience with overlapping congresses, journals, and guideline-publishing activities.
• The Menopause Society (formerly NAMS): North America's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting women's health during menopause. Comparable as a regional direct peer offering similar clinician education, position statements, and certified practitioner programs.
• British Menopause Society (BMS): UK medical society for healthcare professionals specializing in menopause and post-reproductive health. Directly comparable in mission, membership model, and HCP education programs, with overlapping European audience.
• Australasian Menopause Society: Medical society serving Australian and New Zealand clinicians focused on menopause care. Comparable to EMAS in providing HCP education, guidelines, and consensus statements for a regional menopause clinician community.

Broad incumbents

• European Society of Endocrinology (ESE): Broader European medical society covering endocrinology that EMAS actively partners with on webinars and education. Overlaps with EMAS on hormonal and menopausal content but serves the full endocrinology specialty rather than specializing in menopause.
• Endocrine Society: Large international endocrinology society publishing journals and guidelines that include menopausal hormone therapy content. A broad incumbent whose hormone-related guidelines intersect with EMAS's clinical guidance.
• Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG): UK professional body for OB-GYNs whose training, guidelines, and educational resources include menopause management. Broad incumbent that competes for clinician attention across women's health rather than specializing in menopause.

Emerging players

• International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH): International academic society focused on women's sexual health, including midlife and postmenopausal issues. Comparable as an adjacent specialist society publishing research and education in overlapping women's midlife health topics.

Others

• Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD): UK-based professional body for HR and people management with ~160,000 members. EMAS is an active partner via the Menopause in the Workplace podcast series; CIPD is an ecosystem distributor rather than a direct competitor, but operates in adjacent employer-education territory.
